Shares to buy in short term: Mehta Equities' Riyank suggests Aditya Birla, Hero MotoCorp, eClerx Services stock to buy
At 12:39 IST, Nifty 50 index was trading in the negative territory at 24,649 . 60, declining by 72 points or 0.29 percent, while the BSE Sensex also was trading lower, down by 264.52 points or 0.33 percent at 80,750.46.
Market analysts indicated that the uncertainty caused by Trump's recent comments is making investors uneasy. Sectors significantly tied to US export markets—such as gems, jewellery, leather goods, textiles, auto parts, automobiles, and chemicals—might experience some repercussions. Attention is likely to shift towards domestic-focused sectors.
According to Riyank Arora from Mehta Equities, the Nifty 50 index has a support level at 25,500; if this level does not hold, the index could decline further. Arora recommends three stocks to buy in the near-term. Here's what they say about the overall market.
The Nifty 50 is witnessing selling pressure and is trading weak. With support at 25,500, the index may drift lower if this level fails to hold. Resistance is placed near 25,800, and until it crosses this level, upside looks limited. Market sentiment remains cautious, and every bounce is being sold into. Indicators like RSI and momentum are also pointing downward. Traders are advised to adopt a sell-on-rise approach, keeping strict stop-loss levels to manage risk in this volatile phase.
Bank Nifty remains under pressure after slipping below its crucial levels. Support is placed at 55,400, and further weakness could drag it toward lower zones. Resistance is seen around 55,800–56,000, where selling pressure is expected. The index is trading below its short-term moving averages, and weak sentiment in banking heavyweights is weighing on it. Any recovery may face resistance at higher levels. Traders should continue with a sell-on-rise strategy while maintaining strict stop-losses.
Riyank Arora recommends these three stocks in the short term - Aditya Birla Capital Ltd, Hero MotoCorp Ltd, and eClerx Services Ltd.
Buy | Above ₹ 285 | SL: ₹ 270 | Target: ₹ 325
Analysis: AB Capital is approaching a key breakout zone near ₹ 285. A move above this level, supported by strong volumes, can trigger upside momentum. The stock is trading above its key moving averages, and RSI is trending higher, suggesting bullish sentiment. Sustaining above ₹ 285 may open the path toward ₹ 325. Traders may look for entries above ₹ 285 with a strict stop-loss at ₹ 270.
Buy | CMP: ₹ 4,536 | SL: ₹ 4,450 | Target: ₹ 4,750
Analysis: Hero MotoCorp has rebounded strongly from recent lows and is trading above its short-term averages. The RSI is showing positive momentum, suggesting scope for further upside. Sustaining above ₹ 4,536 can lead to a move toward ₹ 4,750. Price action remains constructive, and higher lows indicate continued strength. Traders may consider buying with a stop-loss at ₹ 4,450 to limit downside risk.
Buy | CMP: ₹ 4,035 | SL: ₹ 3,800 | Target: ₹ 4,750
Analysis: Eclerx has given a breakout from consolidation supported by strong volume. The stock is trading above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, showing strong momentum. RSI remains bullish and supports further gains. Sustaining above ₹ 4,035 may push the stock toward ₹ 4,750. Traders can look to buy with a stop-loss at ₹ 3,800 to protect against any volatility.

Former US ambassador makes massive statement, explains why Donald Trump imposed 50 percent tariff on India, lack of response led to...
Donald Trump- File image New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has imposed a steep 50 percent tariff on India over its purchases of Russian oil. The new rate will come into effect in 21 days, so on 27 August, according to the executive order. A response from India's foreign ministry said Delhi had already made clear its stance on imports from Russia, and reiterated that the tariff is 'unfair, unjustified and unreasonable'. To recall, in May, the Modi government outrightly rejected Trump's so-called role in the ceasefire with Pakistan. Former Indian ambassador and renowned author Vikas Swarup revealed that Trump's displeasure is also linked to India joining the BRICS organisation and refusing to bow to US pressure during trade negotiations. While talking to news agency ANI, the former Indian ambassador said that India–US relations are strategic, whereas US–Pakistan relations are merely a money game. The ambassador also praised India's firm stance. He also warned that Trump's tariffs would lead to a rise in inflation within the United States itself. What Vikas Swarup say: In an interview with ANI, Vikas Swarup, who is a former High Commissioner to Canada, said steps being taken by the US President Donald Trump will eventually lead to ratcheting up inflation in America. 'US called India a 'Tariff King'. But now the 'Tariff King' in the world is the United States because our average tariff is about 15.98%. The US tariff today is 18.4%. So, it is now the 'Tariff King' of the world. But the fact is, tariffs are bringing in money. They will bring in about a 100 billion dollars a year for the US. But the issue is that eventually who will pay for these tariffs? By American consumers. So, what's going to happen is this is going to ratchet up inflation in America, it's going to ratchet up prices in America. I think that's when the chickens will come home to roost,' he said. 'If you cave in to a bully then the bully will increase his demands. Then there will be even more demands. So, I think we have done the right thing. India is too large, too proud a country to become a camp follower of any other country. Our strategic autonomy has been the bedrock of our foreign policy right from the 1950s. I don't think that any Govt in Delhi can compromise on that,' says former diplomat Vikas Swarup on the tariff rift between India and the US,' he added. President Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on Indian goods plus an unspecified penalty in July, even as there were hopes of an interim India-US trade deal that would have otherwise helped avoid elevated tariffs. A few days later, he imposed another 25 per cent tariff, taking the total to 50 per cent, over India's imports of Russian oil. On Opposition questioning India's Foreign Policy and diplomacy, Vikas Swarup said India should not cave in to any pressure as India's strategic autonomy is non-negotiable'. Here, I would not blame our diplomats at all. I think what has happened is Pakistan, through some intermediaries, has gotten the ear of the US President and that is why, two visits by Asim Munir to Washington, the so-called 'deal' with America on so-called 'oil reserves' of Pakistan. More importantly, I think Pakistan is now trying to position itself as the 'Crypto King' of South Asia and there, through World Liberty Financial in which Trump's family has stakes, Steve Witkoff's family has a stake, through that I think Pakistan has managed to project an image of itself as a reliable partner…All these things have led to Trump having a softer approach towards Pakistan,' he said.

India hopes US ties will progress despite tariff tensions: MEA
NEW DELHI: India on Thursday hoped that its relationship with the US will continue to move forward based on mutual respect and shared interests. New Delhi's comments came amid escalating tensions between the two countries after President Donald Trump slapped 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods. "India and the United States share a comprehensive global strategic partnership anchored in shared interests, democratic values, and robust people-to-people ties," external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. This partnership has weathered several transitions and challenges, he said. "We remain focused on the substantive agenda that our two countries have committed to and we hope that the relationship will continue to move forward based on mutual respect and shared interests," he said. Jaiswal was asked about the future of India-US ties in the wake of tariff tensions. The MEA spokesperson suggested that the defence ties between the two countries remained robust. "The India-US defence partnership, underpinned by foundational defence agreements, is an important pillar of the bilateral partnership," he said. This robust cooperation has strengthened across all domains, he noted.. "We are expecting a US Defence Policy Team to be in Delhi in mid-August. The 21st edition of the joint military exercise Yudh Abhyas is also expected to take place later this month in Alaska," Jaiswal said. "Both sides remain engaged to convene the 2+2 Intersessional meeting at the working-level towards the end of the month," he added.
